Psyopus’ debut is a hyperactive blur of aggression, technicality, and insanity thrown to the wind without a care in the world, doing as much damage as possible.
Rich with headbanging riffs, an excellent thrash frontman, gorgeous production by guitarist Adam Dutkiewitcz, Andy Sneap mixes. The clean-sung passages: Gay.
San Francisco trio One Man Army offer funny, smart, hard street punk that turns out a perfect complement to the brooding moody tones of Alkaline Trio’s songs.
Most emo songwriters add violent imagery to their romantic tragedy so they sound cooler, and Northstar are no exception. But they don’t ask you to pity them.
Ex-Shadows Fall singer Philip Labonte started All That Remains. Much richer and focused than the previous release, with ace production by Adam Dutkiewicz.
Alkaline Trio turns me all to miserable jelly every time I hear a new heart-wrenching song, and their six fantastic new songs on this album are no exception.
